along a track by a snowcat. As you travel along you see the glacier of La Meije
appear. We were lucky, it had snowed the day and night before so there was plenty
of light powder at the top.

You start the day getting the first Jendri express up from Les Deux Alpes, after getting the first tow bars up to the top of Les Deux Alpes glacier, you get pulled
along a track by a snowcat. As you travel along you see the glacier of La Meije
appear. We were lucky, it had snowed the day and night before so there was plenty
of light powder at the top.
You then start your descent from 3600m to 1450m in La Grave
village.
You need a guide to avoid some of the crevasses 
After
lunch, it's up to the top again on the telecabin. After a couple of more runs,
you head back to Les Deux Alpes, and take one last powder run down. 
.Then on to the pistes, down the bottom, and sink some cold ones!
